Of course there are items that stack in this game. Bolts, arrows, and throwable weapons/potions!
Seriously, if there are secret/undiscovered duping methods, whole stacks of runes could be duped. The economy is rekt enough because of bots.

Already looked, much prefer d2r & d2 lod. Played all the most popular private servers, none of them do it for me as the original games do.
As much as I’ve always wanted stacking in d2r, I know it ain’t simple and who knows what limitations and/or vulnerabilities that could open up from trying to implement one. Imagine they do it and it creates a huge duping exploit making your +759 def enigma worthless before they figure how to fix it. Imagine how many threads this forum would have

No thx, not interested.
You’re free to play pd2 if it is so much better for you.
We already have so big stashes, let the game please have some inventory management left.

This point is always awful. Doesn’t matter. If at any point in time you can dupe and get away with it easily, then you’d be able to generate unlimited items regardless. And it certainly isn’t a reason to prevent item stacking QOL for people.

I heard Blizzard is hiring for someone to handle D2:R. If you don’t mind long hours and crap pay, step up to the plate and go show Blizzard a thing or two.
Even if I did, it changes absolutely nothing about the situation you described. As for Blizzard even under Microsoft control, I doubt they give a single thought to D2R except perhaps in passive bot account farming and bandwidth usage. Even if I were to work for them there is most likely a 0% chance I’d be assigned to D2R. Just saying that a potential abuse isn’t a reason to not make a QoL change most want. Not even saying this directly in association with item stacking, but that it is faulty reasoning.
Regardless of your opinion on my point, it’s still a valid point.
If there was a dupe method and rune stacking was a reality, depending on the max stackable amount, would surge their buying potential in the game that many more times. Also they’d spend that many times less engaging in duping for the same number of duped runes, which reduces Blizzards scope of catching them in the act. (I know, as if they’re really looking to begin with.)
I am in favor of a dedicated shared stash tab solely for storing runes and gems. Allow the tab to stack up to 5 of each gem grade and rune. Gems and runes transferred to the stash via ctrl+click are automatically added there, if the spot for that specific gem grade or rune is full, it gets stored in a normal shared tab as it would right now. Withdrawal of gems and runes is done by clicking on the gem grade or rune, which deposits one into the player inventory. This would be a way to offer bulk storage and simplified sorting of gems and runes while not allowing for duping stacks of them. I would give up a shared tab for this.

If they lifted a finger to prevent acquisition of items through any means other than playing your character, yourself, and legit trading, then I would agree. But they choose to leave it the wild west in there so no stacking items is in no way any attempt at a barrier against duping and wouldn’t matter if it was. It’s like putting a finger in the left side of the dam while the right side is already crumbled and washed away.
Non stacking items adds “wealth mobility” to the game. You can trade “spirit sets” for example for higher runes.
Part of why that is valueable is that you managed to keep it all organized.
I am of course in favor of items that can be stacked.
At least for potions (also in the belt up to 5 per compartment), in the inventory up to 5 for runes, gemstones and potions, in the storage up to 50x, but at least 25 stacks for gemstones, runes etc…
Everything else is an excuse.
The company lives from us and in a normal system, the question of customer wishes should arise all by itself, at least at this level.
I don’t accept a complete distortion of conditions anyway, that profit is more important than service, because then we don’t need this system and can build ourselves another one rather than being constantly squeezed like a lemon by it.
Moreover, D2 is basically not dead. It’s just that nothing is being done. If the content of the game were to be expanded and continued, and the core wasn’t being disfigured in the process, the game would certainly be massively popular with users.
But apart from that, you also have to say that if you tailor the game heavily to rune words, it’s a design flaw if the runes don’t drop better and aren’t available.
Without all the P4W RMT people who buy the runes on real money sites and flush them into the game, it would basically be impossible to equip yourself sensibly here, at least in the ladder.
After all, who finds high-end runes all the time?
Nobody can tell me that. Something drops super rarely, but never in the mass to equip several characters at a high level. That’s already getting tight for one character.
If I have access to infinite money or infinite money a bit more slowly nothing changes in the fact that I still have infinite money.
And no matter what, just because a certain thing could be abused by some, isn’t a reason to not do something. You could argue potential abuse with most changes, you could argue potential abuse with no changes as well as the system is already being abused. And while you’re right that perhaps that would limit the time spent duping so less chances of being caught that still isn’t a solid enough reason to not do it.
Be it stacks of 5, 10, 100, or no stacking if someone figures out how to dupe perhaps instead of worrying about the potential ease of duping from a larger stack, we might worry about fixing the dupe method?
As for the storage space issue. I mean I’ve given up on them doing anything and most people should probably just buy a new account once per year and learn how to multibox if they still need more space. Though I don’t really care about the method for creating more space if they were to do so. Stacks are great, or a ton more characters per account, or a ton more shared tabs.
As to the concept of having to remove a shared tab to get your ideal method of storage. Just another trick/delusion they’ve implemented. There is zero reason to limit loot, the choice process isn’t an appealing game mechanic, nor is it necessary. And yes people keep a ton of junk, but there isn’t a streamlined method to finding everything or getting what you need in this game, so why shouldn’t they?
It is crazy that at one point back in LOD I had unlimited characters and at one point it was a TON due to anni’s not being able to stack anywhere. Somehow Blizzard’s bottom line and servers were just fine handling all of that. Meanwhile the things that did crash the game, botting and duping and the weird process of clone hunting weren’t dealt with aggressively.
